+---- Thread: [Advice Needed] Paper bags (/showthread.php?tid=6319133)
Paper bags - informalmarc - Feb 4, 2026
Hello all,
I recently got a job selling paper bags at a local paper bag factory. We sell custom, stock, and generic bags to drug stores, vets, pharmacies—you get the gist.
I’ve been emailing, calling, and sending letters for the past two weeks, and I’ve only gotten one sale. I get 20% commission.
I was wondering if you fine folks have any tips for getting more traffic to this No one at work really gives tips . Some coworkers make a few sales a day, and one guy makes $4k a week doing this (I checked—he’s not bullshitting).
Thanks!
